La Liga Game Preview: Atletico Madrid-FC Barcelona
When it comes to clashing against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the Liga is an excellent destination. The two teams have met before in the past, and both sides have put up good fight. However, this time around, there’s a great chance that this meeting will end in a draw. Both Atletico Madrid and Barca are very strong teams with lots of talent on their team. It’s not so much who can score more goals as who can overcome counterattacks at times. This match will be no different; both Atletico Madrid and Barca are capable of outplaying their opponents at times. We’ll see which team can outplay the other during this game, so let’s get into it!
Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona
Atletico Madrid’s transfer business of the past few years has been nothing but positive. Cristiano Ronaldo, Thomas Pienaar, and Pedro have all gone on to big things with the club, and there’s no reason to think that this team will not be as strong in the future. It’s a very young team, with only 21 players, so there’s room for plenty of growth. Barcelona’s team, however, has been arguably the best team in Spain for the past few seasons. Barca has a very strong home record, having won 10 of the last 11 Spanish titles, and has won two of three in Champions League finals. There’s no chance of this Barcelona team winning the Liga this season, but how does Atletico Madrid stand to benefit from it? Let’s find out!
The semifinals have seen Barca take on Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid square off in the Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid semi-final. The tie between these two teams has been nothing but classics, with Real Madrid winning both games 1-0 and 2-1. With Real Madrid having taken control of the domestic title race, it’s very likely that they’ll face Atletico Madrid in the final. The trophy that these two teams will win is probably one of the most intriguing trophies in all of Spanish football. The Champions League is always a very high-value prize for any team, and it’s likely that Barcelona will get close to winning it this season. However, the Liga title is another thing that Barca could definitely achieve this season. Aside from that, Atletico Madrid will want to show their supremacy in the current season, as well as the previous two seasons, by repeating their success.
Who will win the game? Atletico Madrid: They’ll have the majority of chances, and they’ll score a lot of goals
Both teams have had trouble scoring goals recently, with Atletico Madrid scoring just four goals in their last two games and Barcelona having scored only three in their last five games. This means that the away team will enjoy a great advantage when it comes to goals scored this season. Atletico Madrid’s defensive record is very poor this season, and they’ll have no right to have any kind of advantage on the pitch. This is a net plus for Atletico Madrid; they’ll have no problems checking off the boxes of every Barca fan’s wish list. On the other hand, Barca’s attacking record is outstanding, and they’ll be able to roam about the pitch at will and score lots of goals. This means that Atletico Madrid will benefit a lot from their disadvantage in the defensive department.

Conclusion
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are two of the most successful teams in world football. They made history together in the 2012-13 season when they won their first ever UEFA Champions League title and in the process, they became the first team to ever win the league twice. They’re also two of the most consistent teams in Europe, and you can see that in their play-rates. They always seem to perform very well in front of their home crowd, which makes us wonder how they do without their key players. Atletico Madrid has lots of talent, though, and if they can overcome their lack of experience, they could be a really good team. Barcelona has lots of talent, and if they can consistently score, they’ll be a very strong force in Europe. Now, it’s time to see who comes out on top this season!
